National Republican., 1887-05-04

BELOW will be found a letter from n
lawyer Of this city, who is resident of
Alexandria county, in regard to the act of
retrocesson. 1t will be seen that the Ma.
TIoNAL REPUBLICAN has, as usual, made
the proper suggestion in this case. and that
1t is only the neglect Of the general govern.
ment which has prevented the correction
of great wrong:
EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN: In connec-
tion with your editorial in this mornings
issue relative to the eretrocession OF Alexandria
county, Va, in 1876, would say that myself
and other citizens OF that county entered
suit some years ago in the Supreme Court of
the United States to test the legality of that
act of retrocession.
The question was most ably argued there for
us by Hon. Samuel Shellaoarger aud Judge
Westel Willoughby, both of this city. The
court decIed that the question was One to be
determined by Congress rather than by the
judiciary, and further that, inasmuch as no
protest had ever been made, 1t would not be
proper for the court now to reopen the matter
in the absence of congressional action. The
constitutionality OF the act was not touched by
the court because of its assumption that 1t was
estopped by above reasons. No attempt has
since been made TO reopen the subject either
in the courts or Congress. An interesting dis
covery was made since this adverse decision Of
a protest signed by hundreds of citizens of
Alexandria county and filed In the House of
| Representatives. / have in my possession a
copy of this protest. In connection with this
subject is an interesting incident told me years
| ago by an intimate friend OF the late Senator
| Chandler. Of Michigan. The senator came into
| the room where this gentleman and others were
seated, at the outbreak of the war, and In a
| most animated manner, said, "The army Will
cross the Long bridge at once. Gen. Scot has
been advised by the Chief Justice of the su-
preme Court that the act of retrocesslon is un-
constitutional and, therefore, Alexandra
county, being United States territory, all state
| rights scruples of Gen. Scott are removed, and
| he has given his order to Immediately cross
| the Potomac with our troops" A gentleman
| OF the highest standing In this city is my in
| formant. An examination of the able argu-
ments of Messrs Shellabarger and Willoughby,
| copies of which are at your service, will, feel
assured, convince any intelligent reader that
the act retroceding Alexandria county - the
| state of Virginia is unconstitutional and that
| it is the duty of the government and Congress
to take immediate steps to Alright the wrong
| We citizens of that county will co ooperate, but
| we cannot, ofcourse, be saddled with all re-
| sponsibiity for the existing order OF things
| Ifthe United States has unlawfuly been shorn
| Of It's dOmain-that which Is now as absolutely
| essential for the protection of its capital as
| during the war of the rebellion-it is the duty
| of the Executive and Congress to remedy the
| crime. Il. S. LACEY.

editor of the Registe alleges that up to the
time his office was taken possession OF he had
never been notified of any suit against him, or
had he any notice that receiver was to be
appointed, and that the note, the payment OF
which the reccivership was ordered to secure,
he, the editor of the Register, had been re-
strained from paying by a creditor Of the per-

"IHERE Is NOTHING LIKE
LEATHER

About sixty days ago we announced
the opening of our Shoe Department
and headed the announcement, as
above, "THERE Is NOTHING LIK 6
LEATHER" Some little stir WIS
created in the shoe trade by our bold
and original methods of doing busi-
ness. Some noise was made for us by
those who were not overjoyed with the
low prices we named for footwear of
sterling merit for Ladies', Misses,
Youths, Boys, and Men, Somehow the
echo of that noise still lives in the
hum of delighted patrons voices, who
daily throng our Shoe Department for
the great values they've heard of or
been told about by those who had al
ready patronized us. There's no diff
nculty in finding these heretofore un-
heard bargains-THEY ARE HERE
not on paper, but in stock at your SER
